Someday I will actually read this…😉
“But the beginning of things, of a world especially, is necessarily vague, chaotic, and exceedingly disturbing. How few of us ever emerge from such beginning! How many souls perish in its tumult!”
“Pride and hope and desire like crushed herbs in his heart sent up vapours of maddening incense before the eyes of his mind. He strode down the hill amid the #tumult of sudden-risen vapours of wounded pride and fallen hope and baffled desire. They streamed upwards before his anguished eyes in dense and maddening fumes and passed away above him till at last the air was clear and cold again.” #QuotsyJul21
Poetry is powerful! And the women of World War One used it as a weapon and a medicine, an alarm and a lullaby, and Tumult & Tears is an excellent resource to have to understand them better. Visit Literature Approved for Purchase Links and a full review.
